Default Blisters

I have just recently started getting blisters ALL over my feet, and my mom and I have been arguing over them. Are you supposed to poke them with a needle to let the air out or not?

Do you get them int he same places all the time?
where about on your feet do you get them?

Don't pop them! My mom is a nurse and I used to get blisters all the time and she told me that when you pop them they can get really infected and that they take longer to heal! The best thing to do is to wash your feet really well everyday, keep your feet dry, keep your blisters covered with band-aids, and most of all wear good socks! Hope this helps

Try not to burst them. They will burst of their own accord when they are getting better. Bursting them cold scar or hurt your foot more and could even start an infection. You should try to keep them clean, keep washing them and leave them be

They will burst in their own time just because they get so irritating when you dance make sure you have bandaids on them/.

I get Band Aid blister patches when I feel a hot spot coming or have a blister. It protects what's there and as they're healing it keeps the tender new skin safe. They are kinda big- like they cover your whole heel, but they are great!

Do not under any circumstances pop that blister! It would cause an open wound and would more than likely get infected. If it does pop do not tear the excess skin away since it helps keep it somewhat covered. Just keep it clean and put a band aid on it.
